5 Points of Arminianism

[PennEd]

Yep.


Smarter, you betcha.
It's smart (or wise) to want to seek God and life forever.

 

[Mem]

Why is there even a designation of 'wise' and 'foolish' if there is no difference?

I mean who can know what anyone truly believes?

I think she believed there is A God. She just had the wrong idea of who He is.
Because, God hadn’t opened her eyes.

Very well could be as you think.

I know if I've been around people and a topic relating to God erupts I walk away wondering which one or how many will believe what all was discussed and will it lead to a person just doing their same ole or will they end up in Church reading their Bible. Doesn't mean they're Saved, but they are Drawn to God and seek more.

And sometimes, I have met people later after a God discussion and discover by their Testimony they sought more about God and ended up at the Altar and poured themselves out before God as He gave them Eternal Salvation.

You just never know what will happen. And sometimes you will know.

When I first became a Christian , back in the early 90s, I worked at a real estate company with a woman I was excited to share the Gospel with.

She listened intently, and then said “what do I need a Savior for? I am a good person, so God will judge me on that”.

She was utterly blinded to her need for Jesus. It didn’t matter how much I tried to tell her, or persuade her, that we were all sinners, in need of a Savior.

Ow it is true that since then she may have come to believe. But yrs later she still hadn’t.

Why didn’t she believe upon hearing the SAME Gospel you and I heard?

Are all humans the same, do we not each have our own unique temperaments, personal experiences, desires and histories?

I felt the same as this woman until the person made it clear to me God requires perfection!

That made me think, because as much as I was a good person and very moral, trying to save myself, I knew I was not perfect.

Because a person does not respond, does not prove your point that God forces the gift of faith on people, it actually demonstrates the different soils/people's hearts.

That one is true. But people can choose to seek God, believe the gospel, and when they do, they become born again.

sorta like Lazarus walked out of the grave with out being called

I'm sorry snacks I haven't ment to offend you snacks I was scared you may not be in a good mood to conceive a scripture about the holy spirit because I felt you where provoked, I didn't phrase it correctly, would you like a glass of peppermint tea or coffee, we can have a snack together. Maybe we can settle now

My arms to friendship are always open when coffee is involved. 😊💕

and mine when a supersnack hero can bring me some fresh coffee beans to be slowly brewed and freshly ground, and one to take to work so the coffee aroma can fill the car as I drive to the farm of a morning.

 

[NOV25]

“According to various scholars and sources, Pentecostalism is the fastest-growing religious movement in the world;[29][30][31][32][33] this growth is primarily due to religious conversion to Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity.[34][35]According to Pulitzer Center 35,000 people become Pentecostal or "Born again" every day.[36]According to scholar Keith Smith of Georgia State University "many scholars claim that Pentecostalism is the fastest growing religious phenomenon in human history",[37] and according to scholar Peter L. Berger of Boston University "the spread of Pentecostal Christianity may be the fastest growing movement in the history of religion".[37]” Wiki.

The world sure does love those Pentecostals and Charismatics.

Only an example of a true case of Resurrection because after 4 days there's nothing there neither spirit. Mind disconnected and had not functioned in days completely off life support. Very different between physically dead and Spiritually Dead. When a person is alive they have both functioning even if they are dead in every sense in terms of Salvation.

When Yeshua spoke, everything thing awoke and returned simultaneously and Lazarus fulfilled the Command.

Nope, not like that at all. Lazarus was dead. Jesus raised him from the dead.
People who are alive can decide to believe the gospel and become saved.

I'm coming as SuperSpike...SuperSnooper's cousin.

 

[Happy_hobnob]

Cool two super heroes, this is becoming exciting. I do hope it does happen,

 

[Snacks]

Dead in sins = dead to things of the Spirit.

The prodigal son was dead in Spirit then came to his senses. He was dead but is alive again, lost and is found.

According to various scholars

The earth was once believed to be flat.

Like a Boston Cream donut that’s filled with gooey stuff on the inside.

35,000/day? At this rate they’ll be the only religion on the planet in 50 years. Well, except for a small group of Calvinists of course 😏

Pentecostal or "Born again" every day

big difference between the 2
